2. A subscription box

   A monthly box of tea, snacks or books sent to her door, so there is something to look forward to every month. Around $20-50.

3. Flowers delivered to her door

   Order a bouquet from a local florist in her city, with a handwritten card. Same-day delivery is common in big cities. Around $30-90.

4. A year of postcards

   One postcard a week from wherever you are, posted to her. Cheap, slow and kept. Around $10-30.

5. Cook the same recipe

   Pick a recipe, buy the ingredients and cook it together on a video call. Eat at the same time, in different kitchens. Around $15-40.

6. A gift card for a local cafe

   A card for a cafe or restaurant near her, so she can treat herself and think of you. Around $20-60.

7. A co-op game to play together

   A game made for two, such as a cooperative puzzle or farming game. Buy one copy each and plan a weekly session. Around $15-60.

8. A film night on a call

   Pick a film, press play at the same time and talk through it. Streaming services each have a watch-together option or you can use a screen share. It costs little.

Sydney to Tokyo: the time difference

Tokyo is about 1 hour behind Sydney, so 8 pm in Tokyo is roughly 9 pm in Sydney. The gap shifts by an hour for part of the year when the clocks change.

The gap is small, so calling is easy: an evening call suits both of you.

What a parcel across the border costs you

A parcel from Sydney to Tokyo crosses a border, so allow one to three weeks and check customs rules for food, liquids and anything with a battery. A digital gift has none of that.

Buying for your girlfriend

The best gifts for a girlfriend are specific. Pick a memory, an inside joke or a place, and let the gift point to it.

Pair a small thing she can use with one that is purely sentimental.

If you want to give it today

A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.

There is no deadline, which lets you order things that take a week to arrive. Pair a quick digital gift with something that needs shipping.

Opening it together on a call

Send the link, agree a time that works in both cities and open the game on a video call. You can read the quiz questions aloud while she plays, or share your screen and watch.

The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; a final level in New York or Tokyo is coming soon.
